Summary
This study evaluated clinical nursing jobs using the National Health Service Job Evaluation (NHS JE) system in four hospitals. Findings suggest adding two new nursing roles to the national NHS JE system.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Management
- Healthcare Administration
- Workforce Analysis
Background:
- The National Health Service (NHS) Job Evaluation (JE) system was developed in the UK between 2003-2004.
- This system aims to standardize and evaluate nursing job roles within the healthcare sector.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a local evaluation of clinical nursing positions within four hospitals.
- To assess the implementation and applicability of the NHS JE system in diverse clinical settings.
Main Methods:
- A job analysis questionnaire was developed and distributed to 158 clinical and supervisor nurses across 31 clinics in four hospitals.
- Questionnaires were analyzed to evaluate 94 identified nursing jobs against the NHS JE framework.
Main Results:
- A significant portion of nursing jobs were assessed for local evaluation.
- Fourteen out of 19 nursing jobs in medical and surgical clinics were successfully matched to existing national nurse job descriptions within the NHS JE system.
Conclusions:
- The current NHS JE system requires updates to accurately reflect the evolving nursing workforce.
- Two new nursing job titles, 'nurse B' and 'nurse advanced B', are recommended for inclusion in the national NHS JE system.

01:15Nursing Evaluation
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

01:27Nursing Clinical Information System
Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS)
A Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS) is a specialized type of healthcare information system tailored to meet the unique needs of nursing practice. It incorporates the principles of nursing informatics to streamline information management and improve the quality of care delivery.
Critical attributes of NCIS include:

01:15Nursing Implementation
Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

01:08Role of Communication in the Nursing Process III: Evaluation and Documentation
A successful patient outcome depends mainly on the evaluation stage of the nursing process. Evaluation determines effectiveness by reviewing what was done previously after the completion of nursing interventions. Every time a healthcare professional steps in or administers treatment, they must reassess or evaluate the action to ensure the intended result. During the evaluation phase, there are three probable patient outcomes:
01:20Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching III: Evaluation and Documentation
Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.

01:29Nursing Assessment
The two sources for collecting information are primary and secondary. After gathering information, interpretation and validation help to complete the data. The purpose of assessment is to establish data with the initial information, to interpret data about the patient's perceived needs and health problems, and to respond to these problems identified.
The nurse collects all aspects of the patient's health in the initial assessment, establishing priorities for ongoing focused assessments and...
